Sydney: Post 5
During my early morning run in the city, I witnessed an amazing display of flying skill by a helicopter pilot who was lifting air conditioning fans from the street to the top of a skyscraper. The helicopter squeezed itself between the buildings, attached a chain link to the equipment and then slowly lifted it to the top. Standing almost directly underneath it (I didn't realize what a bad idea this was until I watched the video later), the rotor blades were literally just a few feet from touching the sides of the buildings and it was only 50 feet or so from the road. The down-draft was breathtaking and the noise deafening due to the confined space. The Australians must think that cranes are for wimps.
